    Just in time for summer, The Yogurt Spot has opened a new location in Katy and boasts interesting flavors like, red velvet, green tea and New York cheesecake, and 30 toppings. Plus you pay by the weight, so you pay for what you want.

    So if you want a little bit of cheesecake yogurt with chocolate chips, you can have it. Or if you want to mix green tea yogurt with chocolate - that's OK too.

    Do you like frozen yogurt?

    Forget your sno-cones, popsicles and slushies - and try a frozen custard that beats your regular ice cream.

    I tried a cup of Ritter's mocha almond fudge and it was deliciously creamy, to say the least.

    Where are your favorite places to indulge in cool treats?
